Why the switch? We transport Pedelects and needed a holder with a higher capacity. Our Citroen C5 III can lift 70 kilos and balances thanks to its suspension, the rear loading automatically.
The holder comes up to the clip fully assembled into the house. The bracket is fitted quickly with a few screws. Then, the carrier is also somewhat bulky in storage. We therefore take the strap from the winter always.
The carrier is well balanced and can be worn well. For a woman, but it will be quite difficult. But it is easily attached to the coupling. If woman a second carrier gets (in) is that without problems.
The carrier is placed only on the ball and then pushed down the strap. Done. Then advance and lock the lock. That was about it.
Who wants to carry pedelecs will find with the ramp (separately) a friend. 25 Kg on the carrier to lupfen is not so simple. The holder but quickly mounted and the Fahhrad is safe.
Our pedelec has a front engine (Trio) and a deep frame, fits laidback. I have not tried it yet the place on a bike with mid-engine.
The holder is made Thule Moderately very solid and well thought out. Acts done for eternity. The price is high, but worth it. No assembly parts on the clutch as before.
Fahrrardmontage: The wheel is used in the wheel recesses. Then attach the upper bracket on the frame. Now the wheel is already. Now the wheels firmly tabs on the recordings. finished.
Conclusion: you get an expensive but also very good bicycle racks here. It is portable, but rather for ladies only for two. The mounting on the ball against a few easy steps. The placing of bicycles is no ramp; Pedelecs go easier with ramp. The you have to buy an extra but still.
We bought the branded version of Volvo. Here are two locks included. If in doubt, ask the seller if they are here too.
